Animation nerds and Janeane Garofalo stans unite! Boys Go To Jupiter is the debut feature film from 3D-artist and animator Julian Glander. With its dreamy colour scheme and lo-fi music, this delightful animated film will lull you into a surreal Floridian landscape in the lawless time between Christmas and New Year’s. The coming of age story follows Billy 5000, a teenager determined to make $5,000 by exploiting a glitch in a food delivery app.
Boys Go To Jupiter has an all star cast featuring comedians Janeane Garofalo, Jack Corbett, Chris Fleming, Cole Escola, Sarah Sherman and Julio Torres. Made completely on Blender, this film is a must see for all animation lovers. —Tori Fleming
